SOCIAL MEDIA CRACKDOWN: Sargon SLAMS “Malicious” Infowars Censorship

Editor – This article was first published on Kipper Central. It is republished here with kind permission.

Sargon of Akkad has slammed social media giants as a massive assault was launched on Alex Jones Infowars program. The show, whose Editor-In-Chief Paul Joseph Watson recently joined UKIP, was purged from Apples iTunes, Spotify, Facebook and YouTube.

Speaking exclusively to Kipper Central, Sargon said:

“Infowars is famous as a news parody/conspiracy site, and Alex Jones has publicly stated that his on-air persona is an act. Facebook gave no reason for the suspension of Infowars, and given how they are widely perceived, this seems to be an unwarranted and malicious suspension, not unlike the suspension of other conservative voices.”

Brittany Pettibone, who was initially banned from the U.K. for wanting to interview Tommy Robinson and then permanently banned for her involvement with Generation Identity hit-out at the obvious big-tech “collusion” to silence patriotic voices:

Shortly after being banned from Facebook, Spotify and Apple, Infowars has now been banned from YouTube. Big tech collusion to silence political opposition—plain and simple.

She went on to point out that the end game is to actually remove dissenting voices from the internet entirely:

Censorship starts with banning us from private utilities like Twitter, Facebook and Youtube, but it ends with them banning us from our Internet providers, cell phone carriers, private bank accounts, etc.

Meanwhile, Tommy Robinson’s Facebook page announced last night that Tommy’s Instagram account has been removed and that it is fully expected Facebook will soon follow suit.

Following on from the news that prominent UKIP members, including the leader, Gerard Batten, were‘shadowbanned’ from Twitter, the arrest of Tommy Robinson etc, etc it is quite clear what we are seeing is a pattern of increasing state repression, fully backed by corporate big tech, directed against dissenting conservative and patriotic voices. This is clearly a response to the widespread populist revolt which is gripping Europe and in the context of Britain an attempt to stop mass resistance to the ongoing Brexit betrayal by the government.

However, the severity of the action clearly indicates that there is worse to come both in terms of restrictions and betrayals – nothing else can explain the panicked action taken by the state. The totalitarian creep has clearly now become a sprint.

Right click on something you want to watch then select ‘open in a new tab’ (That way you keep the list open for later use.)
As an example I chose this one: https://www.infowars.com/the-purge/
I found the video quality to be much better than YouTube.

It would also seem that the BBC are indulging in self-censorship. Yesterday on Newsnight, Evan Davies used the phrase “Child porn” when concluding the broadcast and immediately corrected himself by saying,”Oh yes, sorry, we’re not supposed to say that now”. (And not before time in my book, it’s lazy, soft porn English and an excuse for not using the far more graphic and shocking “child pornography”). This morning on Radio4 Today, John Humphries corrected himself in similar fashion. He used the phrase “we’ll crash out of Europe” and followed it with, “Oh, mustn’t say that now” Sounds as if they’ve been on a Common Purpose re-education weekend. Spotting these nuances could become a parlour game for UKIPPERS !

Did we expect anything else from corporations. Corporations and big government need each other for their monopolist inclinations (taxation matters excluded of course),
Surely fast moving modern technology allows bright minds alternative ways of communicating with the masses.

And yet the BBC are able to broadcast Islamic propaganda. “As deplorable as the word ‘bloodbath’ sounds, if finding oneself in a deplorable condition and it takes something that deplorable to remove the other situation which is deplorable, then I believe it’s justified”. This is different from Enoch Powell’s ‘rivers of blood’ speech in that it advocates bloodshed – yet it is never quoted in the UK media unlike the words of Enoch. The BBC mention Enoch’s speech in their off-air warm up before the start of Any Questions. The bloodbath remark was made by Malcolm X and is still available (remarkably courtesy of the BBC) on Radio 4 catch-up during an imagined conversation between the late negro leader (his words) and his cousin Rodnell Collins. An original recording of him using the above words is included. Programme was broadcast Thursday 26th July at 9.30am and is available for about another 2 weeks.

For anyone wanting to access this material on BBC, I’ve just revisited the site and I think that they might even have the date of transmission wrong. It was probably August 2nd

Somebody send this report to Donald Trump and ask him to blast all of them.
Trump is the biggest asset we have.

Not knowing much about the law or anything at all about American law, apart from Suits, I thought there were anti trust laws etc over there to provide a level playing field. Maybe it just applies to American companies but if so maybe these guys need to get registered over there under an umbrella organisation. Call it the American-Islam Friendship Society that should get things going.

Getting the Donald involved is a great idea.

Rob, I think the Donald will notice. From what I’ve read and observed I understand that some politicians and ex-politicians are hoping the Republicans will do badly in the US midterm elections coming up quite soon. If things go their way in theory they might be able to remove Trump from office through impeachment.

Infowars is effective and played quite a significant part in Trump’s election with, for example, the ‘Hillary for Prison’ T-shirt. I believe that’s why they’ve been shut down.

I don’t think the timing of this move was an accident. They’ve probably made their move too close to the midterms for Trump to do anything about it in time.

However, Trump is tricky and as POTUS he has access to all sorts of information so perhaps wasn’t taken by surprise.

Without a doubt all freedom loving people including conservatives, classical liberals and fellow travellers need to get together and form their own internet platforms.

But these platforms must not just become echo chambers, they must have a connection to the wider public in order to influence them.

If we put our minds to it they will not win the technology battle. We need to find new channels and technolgies.

This totalitarian censorship is unacceptable.

Totally agree and it’s not too difficult to do either. All MSM and it seems Youtube and Facebook have joined that gang now want to do is Silence people who they don’t agree with. Now is the time to look into options of starting our own social media sites and video sites. Word will spread quickly enough about the new sites!

There are alternatives, but won’t they then just close down or pressurise internet providers?

James T

Well if people choose to close the sites that down that’s up to them. With pressure on ISP’s it a different thing. ISP are required to block website connections showing pirated material, and we all know how well that’s working. It’s becoming clearer and clearer someone is pulling strings somewhere. We can barely get our point across on MSM and what is outside of MSM is coming under attack. There needs to be a truly free kind of media. We had that with Twitter, Facebook, Youtube. Those routes are gone now so we need to find another way.

You are not wrong, populism is democracy and will need us all to help with information output. A physical newsletter distributed to every household will cost (the government propaganda prior to the referendum was at least £9million) where do we find that sort of money? Well 17.4million voters for Leave at £1 each a month could do it. Is £12 a year too much for anyone? Where to print? Costs of print, etc.
We need a full Resistance programme, UKIP friendly help.

The technical aspect of setting up a UKIP friendly Social Media and Video website is quite easy and cheap as well really. It’s just getting enough people together to share the load of it and the will to do it.
